Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
Get your reading heads on for today's highly informative Q+A on the basics of recruiting a transfer to Indiana University - Bloomington.
Q. High schoolers are too immature for my team. I need TRANSFERS!! How do I get a 2 or 4 year transfer into IU?
Answer:
A. There are both NCAA requirements for JC transfers to be eligible for athletics aid, practice, and competition and IU admission requirements for transfers.
IU Admission Requirements for All Transfers: (These rules apply regardless of whether a transfer is from a JC or 4-year school.)
1. IU wants 26 hours of transferable degree credit to admit a transfer without going back to look to see if he/she is admissible out of high school.
2. IU transfers courses only if the student earns a grade of "C" or higher ("C-" or lower grades do not transfer to IU).
3. IU would like to have a transfer GPA of 2.50 (including all courses attempted whether they transfer to IU or not), but the absolute minimum is a 2.00 transfer GPA.
4. IU considers any math class below the calculus level to be remedial math that doesn't get IU degree credit.
5. IU will not give MATH-M 118 Finite Math credit to a JC finite math class until the IU Math Department reviews the content of the course and approves counting it as M 118.
6. IU is not permitted by the state of Indiana to give degrees in Engineering or Agriculture; therefore, they cannot give transfer credit for such courses.
7. You could be admitted to IU as a transfer and NOT be eligible for athletics aid, practice, and competition (failing to meet Big 10/NCAA rules).
Two-Year College Transfers Rules for NCAA:
Rules if NCAA Qualifier out of High School (14.5.4.1): If NCAA Qualifiers out of high school, students can be immediately eligible for competition at IU if they meet the following:
1. Has spent at least one full-time semester or one full-time quarter in residence at the two-year college (excluding summer sessions);
2. Has presented a minimum GPA of 2.00; and
3. Has satisfactorily completed an average of at least 12 semester hours of transferable-degree credit acceptable toward any baccalaureate degree program at IU for each full-time academic term of attendance at the two-year college.
4. If the student has attended the two-year college for two full years, then the student must have 40% of an IU degree completed to meet continuing eligibility requirements.
Rules if NCAA Non-Qualifier out of High School (14.5.4.2): A transfer student from a two-year college who was not a Qualifier is eligible for athletic financial aid, practice and competition in the first year in residence at IU ONLY if the student has done the following:
1. Has graduated from the two-year college;
2. Has completed satisfactorily a minimum of 48-semester hours of transferable-degree credit acceptable toward any baccalaureate degree program at IU, including six-semester hours of transferable English credit and three semester hours of transferable math credit (remember the lowest level of math that IU will transfer for degree credit is calculus or finite math IF IU's math department approves it);
3. Has attended the 2-year college as a full-time student for at least three semesters or four quarters (excluding summer terms); and
4. Has achieved a cumulative GPA of 2.000.
